NOTE-RECORD-CARD SET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led February 1, 1915. {Seria} No. 5,475,

vTo allie/1.0m it may concern Record-Card Sets, of which thefollowing,

taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description..

rIlhis invention relates to an improved note record card set for use in banks and other places where it is necessary vor desirable to keep a record of all current notes, and inforvmation pertaining thereto, held by or pass'- `ing through such bank or similar institution.

Under the present system, these records are usually kept in bound or I loose-leaf ledgers, in` which it is necessary -to make successive entries in the discountregister,

ytht` .',discount tickler, the record lunder indorser and another record under the maker of the note, after, which a note notice is made o-ut from the note and finally a record is made out to run vthrough the Work of the hank,thus necessitating six entries in order' to record the information4 necessary for each note, which is obviously laborious, cumbersome and inconvenient as a reference.

The main object of my present invention is to provide a ready reference card index for bank notes in which all of vthev information or records of any bank note may be en teied at one writing and the cards filed under their respective captions or headings to constitute a convenient and ready reference for subsequent ilse. In other Words, I have sought to provide what might be termed a liability card ledger in which the cards of each setvfor a particular note bear the same nuinber and record, but are filed under their proper headings and constitute a current record that is positively accurate without additional labor except as to the filing of the cards alphabetically.

In the drawings Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are face views of a set of cards bear-infr the date or information for a single note designated by a serial number, in this instance 13930, printed in the upper left-hand corner under the caption note number.

The card shown in F ig. 1 under the heading discount register is a part of the origitate of Pennsylvania, have invented rammed .iaiv'iieia stance 5, similar recordsaunderconsecutive f numbers which are adaptedto be bOiiiidWtl-i; similar sheet-s and used'in the san` as the bound book discount register This card bears upon face thelieadinga. discount register together With.,th e date 'manner due and the indorsementor collateral?, f

and also tlie.note number.y Upon one-.h of the face Iol" the caijdvis recorded th under the heading This -note is pa ableua this bank.

The cards shown in FigsfQ, BH4 and bear, respectively, the,captionsfno te,notice? discount tickler, indorser, .and.niaker..,

ceptthat in Fig? the credit loans. and credit discountsare oniittedand` a blank.

space left for instructions to the niaker or indorsei, the only difference in the cards shown in Figs.' 4 tions or headings, being that the space cocupied by ,credit loi-...ns`l1 and credit discount7 and 5, aside from the cipin the discount register card of Fig. 1 is substitut-ed by payments on loan..

The card shown in Fig. 2 is a notice to the maker of the note and is filed in a suitable drawer according to the niaturit)T of the note. A week or ten days before maturity, this notice is sent to the. maker of the note to afford ample time i'or its attention, the detail information being given on the notire to avoid any confusion as to iwhich note intended, in case the maker has inore than one note discounted.

The card shown in Fig. 3 and designated as the discount tickler is tiled according to the maturity of the note and'on the duc date is run through the Work of .the bank and gives to the note clerk all the necessary information without further labor.

The card shown in Fig. 4 and marked indorser7 i'iled under the name of endorser in the liability lilo.

rlhe card shown in Fig. 5 a final record ,of the series and is filed in the liability file under the naine oi" the maker.

It is now apparent that all the note record sheets bear thc .saine number and have the saine record, 'out are tiled under their ioo the discount regi pro er headings, thus constituting a liabil one writing, Whe-nthe cards are superposed and separated by carbon sheets, 'it being noted that the empty spaces of each card lie directly over the other, While with the bound or loose-leaf ledgers now in common use, it is necessary to make the entries in the discount register, discount tickler, the record under indorser the record under the maker of thenote, and afterward, the note notice and finally the record which is made out to runthrough the work of the bank, thus necessitating six entries as againstthe one entry necessary in applicants system, and while I have shown a specific relative arrangement of the various sub-headings under the headin card, it is evident that thesezsu -headings may be otherwise arranged Without departing. from the spirit of my invention, and therefore, I do not limit myself to the precise arrangement shown and described.

What I claiml is:

1. A note record card set, having cards respectively designated as a register card, a notice card, a tickler card, an indorser card and a maker card, all of substantially the same size and adapted to be separably-superposed one upon the other for the interposition of transfer medium,

each card having spaces appropriately designated respectively as a makers name space, a note date space, a time space and an amount space, said spaces being so arranged that like spaces will be in exalt superposition when the cards are superposed one upon the other, whereby the matter impressed on the said spaces of the front card may be produced in the corresponding spaces of the other cards at one writing, ster and discount tickler cards provided itil additionai spaces api propriately designated for entry or credit of time by this system of cards 'is obvious since all entries are made with of each substantially the 'same size and adapted to f be separably superposed one upon the other for the interposition of transfer medium, each card havingspaces appropriately designated respectively -as a. makers name space, a note date space, a time space and an amount space, said spaces being so arranged that like spaces will be in exact superposition when the cards are superposed one upon the other, whereby the matter impressed on the said Spaces of the front card may be produced in the corresponding yspaces of the other cards at one Writing, the

discount register and discount tickler cards provided with additional spaces appropriately designated for entry .of credit loans registration when the cards are superposed, whereby creditv loan and credit discount matter may be produced at one writing upon the discount register and discount tickler cards when said cards are separated from the remaining cards, and the indorser and maker cards provided with spaces a propriately designated for receiving in icationsof payments on the loan, said spaces being in registration when the cards are superposed so that mattei.l relating to payments on the loan may be produced on said indorser and maker cards at one writing when said cards are separated from the remaining cards.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand Vthis 29th day of January, 1915.
